## Resource

Connor McDavid opens up about the Darnell Nurse trade, admitting it’s tough to let go of a longtime teammate who’s been with him since junior hockey — but he understands it’s part of the business. After 700+ NHL games and 100+ playoff contests together, Nurse’s departure stings, especially since he was a key leader and alternate captain. In exchange for Nurse, the Oilers acquired defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin and prospect Zachary Sharp to clear cap space and make room for future moves. With Nurse gone, only Draisaitl and Nugent-Hopkins remain from McDavid’s rookie days — a major shift in the core. Despite the heartache, McDavid’s focused on the future, excited about the new direction and offseason additions.
